May 4, 2020 AM & PM Report

AM Report The morning trip was with Sam and Greg and they wanted to bend the rod and have a good time. Being tarpon season my first stop was for tarpon fishing. I located a ton of big fish in the 120 plus pound range and missed a bite on bait and one of the guys missed two bites throwing artificials. When the tide turned I changed it up and they caught jacks and snappers but I wanted something bigger so we hit another spot. There they caught yellow jacks on lures but missed or lost big yellow jacks and 30lb jacks. Ouch! The last spot produced snappers on almost every cast as we ended the day on a high note and full of laughs.

PM Report I love fishing with Kivi and he brought his friend Charlie with him as we social distanced our way to a shallow wreck to catch them some dinner. The first wreck was Ok but the second one was better as we hooked a hammer head shark in 6 feet of water that ate the live 2lb jack we fed it. It was amazing as we were able to see everything unfold in before our eyes. Eventually the T head broke us off as the line frayed on the head. Then we landed a big nurse shark and wrapped up the day in a channel where they finished off their goal of fresh fish dinner with yellow jacks, mangrove snapper and porgies. Yum!
